The United States will not be able to evade the answer if it is proved, said the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the world OrganizationUN, October 27.

/tass/. Western countries did not say anything in substance at a meeting of the UN Security Council on US biological laboratories in Ukraine. This was stated on Thursday by the permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the world Organization Vasily Nebenzia.

"In the propaganda arsenal of our Western colleagues, there has long been a murderous, in their opinion, argument - Russia turns on false alarms, spreads disinformation, misleads the members of the Security Council, distracts the Council from discussing more important matters. At the same time, we have not heard anything in essence today, and there was nothing to say to our Western colleagues, except that, in their high and categorical opinion, all this does not deserve the slightest attention," the Russian permanent representative stated.

"Today they are trying to convince us that cooperation between the United States and Ukraine in the biological sphere is exclusively peaceful. But answer a simple question: why is the military department - the Pentagon - supervising it from the American side?", - Nebenzia pointed out.

The United States will not be able to evade the answer if it is proved that Washington violates the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons (BTWC), Nebenzia said.

"Here at the UN, we rely on international law, before which everyone is equal. And whether you want it or not, but for violations of the BTWC, if they are proven, you will have to answer," he said.

"Even if you don't like our arguments and the facts presented, you have no right to ignore them and shift the focus to your political assessments," Nebenzia added.

On Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Russia had filed a complaint with the chairman of the UN Security Council to launch an international investigation into US military biological activities in Ukraine. Moscow stressed that they will seek to exercise their legitimate rights based on the provisions of international law enshrined in the UN Charter and the BTWC, which is a fundamental legally binding instrument in the field of security guarantees against the threat of biological weapons.

As the Ministry recalled, Washington and Kiev were unable to give clear answers to the questions posed by Moscow in the framework of bilateral consultations mediated by the BTWC Implementation Support Group in June, as well as at the consultative meeting on Article V of the BTWC in September in Geneva.
